GetEdFunding is a completely free resource. We understand that many educators and schools already lack the funds they need. That’s why GetEdFunding provides a curated collection of thousands of grants at no cost.

Will you find or write grants for my organization?

GetEdFunding does not provide either of these services. We provide a free, fresh database of funding opportunities to assist you in your search for the funding that suits your needs, but we are not grant writers.

I found a funding opportunity where the wrong deadline is listed. Why is the deadline incorrect?

We are always updating the deadlines in our grant descriptions. However, occasionally grant makers will change their websites after we’ve verified a deadline.

Please feel free to report any incorrect deadlines you find on our website using our Contact Us form and we will work to update the link right away.

I clicked a link from a grant description and I got a 404 error page not found error or I was taken to the wrong page. Why did this happen?

We are constantly verifying the links in our grant descriptions. However, occasionally grant makers will change their websites after we’ve verified a link and that can cause an error or direct you to the wrong page.

Please feel free to report any broken links you find on our website using our Contact Us form and we will work to update the link right away.

Can I receive email updates about grants that match my interests?

Yes, you can do so by subscribing to “biweekly personalized automatic emails” on the Update Account page. Don’t forget to select the state, grade levels, and focus areas for which you would like to receive updates.

Using the Custom Search

How can I find grants for my state?

Simply select your state from the State dropdown menu. This will show you grants for which your state is eligible, including National grants.

How can I find grants for a parochial or private school?

Under Institution Eligibility, select “Private”.

How can I find grants for a college, university, or community college?

Under Institution Eligibility, select either “Public” if you are a public institution of higher education or “Private” if you are a private institution of higher education. If you are seeking funding for higher education students, select “Higher Ed” under Grade Level. If you are employed at an institution of higher education and seeking an individual award, select “Adult” under Grade Level.

How can I find grants for public libraries or school libraries?

The type of library for which you seek funding will determine what selections you will need to make in the Custom Search. If you are looking for public library funding, select “Other” under Institution Eligibility. If you are looking for public school library funding, select “Public” under Institution Eligibility. If you are looking for private school library funding, select “Private” under Institution Eligibility.

How can I find individual awards for teachers, school administrators, or other educators?

To find individual awards, select “Adult” under Grade Level. Do not search by the grade level the educator serves. Teachers in high schools, for example, will still fall under the “Adult” selection, not under “9–12”.

To make the most of your search for individual awards, we suggest you pair the “Adult” selection with the “Professional Development” or “Scholarships/Fellowships” Focus.

How can I find student scholarships?

GetEdFunding is dedicated to helping educators and institutions find funding. We generally do not feature student scholarships in our database, unless they benefit an educator or educational institution.

We do have scholarships and fellowships for educators wishing to continue their education. These can be found by selecting “Adult” under Grade Level and either “Professional Development” or “Scholarships/Fellowships” under Focus.

We also feature grants for organizations and schools to give students scholarships. These can be found by selecting the grade level of the student(s) and "Scholarships/Fellowships" under Focus.

When I search I get a message that there are too many results. How do I narrow my results?

Avoid multiple selections within the same category. Instead, try selecting only one or two items in each category.
